 | Go Holiday Wild |
Nothing says holidays like a lion rippin’ open his Christmas loot.
It’s good times at the Wild Animal Park this year. And you’ve got three weekends left to soak up the gifting and watching of antelope and other species at play.
During the park’s Wild Holidays 12 Days of Enrichment, kids get to hand-paint presents for lions, gorillas, elephants, vultures and meerkats. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get a peek at them “opening” their present-pretty boxed goods of popcorn and insect-tubes throughout the day.
2009 marks the first year for these wild holiday happenings. I love the idea and inclusion and kindness to our furry friends this time of year. I’ve always been a big fan of the Wild Animal Park and their natural, wide-open habitat, and their holiday spirit didn’t disappoint.
Other kid enrichment activities going down through January 2nd at the Park include creating mazes for meerkats and making tacos out of hay and food pellets for the elephants. Yum, Chipotle, get on that.
There’s also centers for kids to craft presents for their own cats and dogs, slime time and more. A black light puppet show wraps the night and later evening hours get you your money’s worth (all activities are free with admission).
Here’s a look at my press preview at the Wild Holidays opening weekend. It rained cats and dogs, but like that was gonna stop us. Click anywhere on the whrrl below to see the photo story and get a taste of the fun:
